List
The steam ship Alaska, bound from
Portland to San Francisco with 131
passengers and a crew of 75, hit a
rock off cape Mendicino Saturday
evening while running through a
dense fog and sunk in 3 5 minutes.
At last reports 4S were known to
be lost with a considerable number
yet unacounted for.
Miss Evelyn Shiplety, former Hepp
ner girl and a sister of Mrs. Dick
Wells, Mrs. Will Cowins and Will
Shipley, of this city, was among the
passengers and until Monday moon
her relatives here feared that she was
among the missing when a telegram
from Portland brought the welcome
news that, she was saved.
Miss Shipley- is now a resident of
Los Angeles and was returning from
visiting a sister at Butte, Montana.
The sister, Mrs. Herbert Fant, who
had been ill for some time passed
away soon after Miss Shipley's depar
ture for the south.
C. E. Woodson, of Heppner, afso
noted the .name of a former school
s mate, John Jackway, with his wife
and sister, on the passenger list. The
two women were saved but Mr. Jack
way was named among those as" yet
unaccounted for.
Sunday was the hottest day of the
season so far according to Frank
Gilliam who Keeps the weather bur
eau instruments here. The thermo
meter registered 9S degres Sunday
afternoon which is getting pretty
close to the record for Heppner. Ac
cording to Mr. Gilliam's records the
hottest day here since weather records
have been kept was on August 1. 1916
when, the glass registered 102 in the
shade. Pretty fine summer resort
at that when compared with what
they are getting in Idaho and little
old New York.

der. During Tuesday, Lookout Blos3
at Tamarack mountain reported a to
tal ot thirteen fires. The Lookout in
the Ukiah district up to Saturday
night reported nearly a score. Nearly
all of the fires were put out while
they were small. But only a light
sprinkle of rain fell over the Gurdane
district and some fires, were yet bur
ning, notably the Pole creek fire and
the Matlock fire near the junction of
Matlock and Scaffold creeks. By
the last of the week drift smoke was
seriously interfering with the look
outs in fire detection.
Smoke chaser Ritchie had the
misfortune at the Pole creek fire of
having the handle burnt off his well
polished shovel. He had laid it
down by a log to cool from an active
heat of trenching while he wielded an
axe. In his short absence sparks set
the log on fire.. Incidentally, anoth
er shovel was available so no time was
lost.
A new bridge has been built by
Mr. Stout and Ranger Woods at
Spruce Spring near South Jones
Prairie. This is a road improvement
that has long been needed. It will
be appreciated by persons hauling
wood from the Jones Prairie region.
There is great abundance of dry
lodge pole, pine, commonly called
black pine, on national forest lands
near the Jones Prairies. This tim
ber makes excellent stove wood. Per

application V the J'orest Ranger,
